Ousted Tennessee insurrectionist claims it was Republicans who escalated things

As Twitchy reported earlier, the “Tennessee Three” — two Democrats who were ousted for breaking the rules and one who survived by one vote, appeared on ABC Monday, and as you can see, all three are terribly grief-stricken for the families of the six people, including three 9-year-olds, who were gunned down by a trans man:

So this is a thing. I’m so happy we had the opportunity to talk about the gun violence problem on a national stage. We must act now. These young people (and their parents) want us to act now to save lives! pic.twitter.com/715WVXYv87

So serious, so somber, so solemn.

ABC News’ Jonathan Karl had already given former Rep. Justin Pearson the proverbial bullhorn on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, but the media love-fest continues.

Ousted Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson claims they didn't know they were breaking the rules when they used a bullhorn to disrupt official proceedings and lead a mob in chanting in the legislative chamber.

If he didn’t know that, he shouldn’t be there.

"I think there is no coincidence, that the two youngest black lawmakers…were kicked out by an almost-entirely white 75-member caucus," Jones says.
"It was a political lynching, " he proclaimed. "How dare you think you are equal," he put words in the GOP's mouth. pic.twitter.com/beK2Axw5lv

The day after the incident with the bullhorn, he intentionally got up in the face of a GOP rep with his phone camera going until the rep knocked it away. In the ABC interview Jones claims the other rep “instigated” but ABC didn’t show his video despite it being on Twitter.

What a hero.

As an activist in 2019, Jones threw a hot cup of coffee at two Republican lawmakers, including the Speaker. Dems then saw fit to nominate & elect him to the chamber, where he insulted an immigrant GOP member with a racial slur, then violated the rules with the bullhorn stunt. https://t.co/J2qv99TwOG

With the spin move. Nice try.

Yeah, he has a history of being a grievance seeker. He’s looking to cash in on his Kaepernick moment, no doubt.

Rewarding poor behavior only increases their poor behavior 🙄🤷🏼‍♀️

Let’s not leave out that he supported 7 victims, not 6.

Yes, protesters held up seven fingers to honor the “seven” victims of the mass shooting. Poor Audrey Hale, gunned down by police.

It’s all a political stunt to bring racism to Tennessee. We follow the rule of law here and Democrats can’t do anything about it. When all else fails shout racism. This was planned from the start. Everything fell right into place.

The media doesn't do it's job and follow up on them with their lies, the media is to blame with pushing their narrative

Wait, no he is a hero! Oh no just a typical aggressive leftist.

Thug. Plain and simple. Good fucking riddance, douchecanoe.

It’s always political theatre with the left. Especially in the midst of tragedy. Suddenly it’s no longer about six murdered Christians. It’s about two tantrum throwing black democrats. See how it works?

He’s a “victim “ of his own behavior. He broke the rules, and reaps his reward.

We thought that the Covenant School mass shooter was going to be lauded by the media, but these clowns have stolen all the attention away from her. And they’re loving every second of it.
